Gocomma assisted & manual flipper knives

No one is saying otherwise.

Hey, everyone was ragging on the knife like it’s junk. Had to stick up for it…

/\…… Amen brother!!…… :smiley: …… :+1::beer:

I never knew G10 was evidently so highly regarded for knife handles. I figured (matched) wood would be Le Chit, as the French say.

Yeah, it is… along with Micarta. But for sheer looks, wood is hard to beat. :wink:

I prefer early lock-up on my liners and frame-locks. Early lock up means it will last longer before the dreaded play kicks in. G10 is my preference in handle material, grippy and durable. My EDC is the ganzo fh11 in greenish blue. Love this knife.

I really liie that color Relampago!! :+1:

G10 is good, but I prefer metal handles.

I received this one today:

First the good: It's big, it has a nice clip, and it's an assisted-opener!

Then the bad: The handle is plastic, and it feels cheap.

The knife is very thick, and the rope that comes with it serves no purpose except to get in the way.

Overall: This Gocomma isn't nearly as nice as the one with the 7.7cm D2 blade.

What did you think it was going to be?

Teacher…v v v v v v.

“I agree mate. Thumbs Up
I just want to be the one doing the “sharpening” or “reprofiling”. Wink.
Sounds like you have found a good method for achieving what you want in a good sharp blade. Beer””


Yes mate. 60plus yrs of practice and lots of cuts.

Eventually. You get there.

That tapered angle I almost get right. is a trick from some of the old Meatworks boners I worked with.

If you have a “folding” knife of any style.
It’s capable of coming back on your fingers.
Treat them as such, a folder. NOT a lock back and you’ll never have a problem.
They ALL only Finger nail cleaners and fruit peeler/slicers
anyway.
Serious work. Use sense and get out that FIXED blade you have.
You’ll keep your fingers longer that way. anyway.
Have fun.

Plastic.

But just because a manufacturer says something is going to be made of plastic doesn't necessarily mean it will be.

And because it's my first knife with a plastic handle, I didn't know it was going to feel so cheap.

I wasn't expecting it to be an assisted-opener.

Nowhere in the description does it say anything like that.

They don't even say it's a "quick open" knife, as they do with some of their other knives.

I ordered this back on May 19th.

I just got an email from Gearbest stating that they still haven't shipped it, and I opted to wait until it's in stock.

This will probably be my favorite Gocomma knife, and I'm not fond of the waiting.

Which one are you waiting for RC? That one?

Mine has been shipped a couple of days ago.

This one:

Waiting was a smart move RC, it will be worth it. :+1:

Okay, looks a bit like the Ganzo FH41 (except for the shape of the blade):

Unfortunately, Gearbest has increased their prices of FH21, FH41 and FH51 quite a bit.

On a side note: Interesting when you look at the link I posted in this post. It says "no lock" even though it uses a liner lock. :FACEPALM:

That is interesting Lux-Perpetua. I clicked your link & scrolled down, under “Specifications” it said “Liner Lock”; which of course is correct.
Strange indeed…. :open_mouth::weary:

OK 2+ months later My second batch of 10$ Go Commas arrived ...

Much better lock -up on three of them and one has about a 25% lock up ...where as the first one has about 15% One is about 85% the other two are 75%

Big damn difference .

I'm also wondering when people said the angle on lock ups are normally about 7 degrees .

My guess on these is they are at a much steeper angle than 7 degrees...(see ..I've been sharpening knives lately and know what 12 degrees looks like ) :)

At over 2 months I was really questioning if they were ever going to arrive.

I still like the look /shape /feel/weight of the knife... and at 75-85% I'm much more comfortable than I was with the first knife I received .
